Best affordable SSD and 4gb (x2) RAM

[Dken]

Hi,

So I am taking out my HDD from my desktop and replacing it with a SSD. I am interested in nothing under 128GB, unless someone can convince me otherwise!

SSD Price range: preferably under $150, but I will definitely go higher. (first time using a SSD)

I am also changing out my 8gb of Ram and replacing it with better ram. (two sticks of 4gbs)

Ram Price range: None set, just looking for quality without paying a premuim


Quick summary of why... I am buying an i5-3570K and don't want to cheap out on the rest of the parts.

If you need any other info please let me know.

I actually really like that SSD that is the one I was looking at! So I am 99% sure I am going with that.

The RAM I am actually only looking for two 4gb's.

Best value for money SSD = Samsung 840 Pro either 128gb or 256gb... really good prices and perform extremely well.

I would definitely go with the 256 GB more storage at a great price

I was planning on doing a 128gb and having another cheap HDD for storage

This was the ssd http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192

changing hd will be pricey, save your current hard drive and get the 128 gb ssd
it will cost you 150-200 to change your drive.. buying windows again can be pricey

Yea, what I was going to do is clone my current hdd and then transfer it to my ssd then see if it works first. Then if I need to I will install windows 7 again.

 

[death1]

is your windows OEM or sold by retail

Oem, I was going to.try and flash it. If it doesnt work I'll just buy Windows 7 again.
